Description
This handbook offers practitioners of the manual therapies much-needed guidance on professional and ethical boundaries in client-therapist interactions.The author examines the complex psychodynamics of the client-practitioner relationship, explains why clear professional boundaries benefit clients, and shows how to establish and maintain boundaries in every type of encounter with clients.Replete with real life examples, the book presents practical solutions to dilemmas, judgment calls, and sensitive situations that face every professional, including confidentiality, sexual attraction, socialising with clients, negotiating fees, and deciding when to stop working with a client. Close attention is given to red flags that signal potential boundary problems.
